A Florida man who said he was refused a job interview because of his tattoos can proceed with his civil rights complaint against Republic Airways, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission said Wednesday.

The commission said it found probable cause that the Indianapolis airline discriminated against Christopher Brooks when it said it wouldn't grant him a job interview because of tattoos on his forearms. Republic was hiring women with tattoos if they agreed to cover them up, the commission said.
